ABSTRACT:
An LDO (low dropout) regulator including a pass transistor having a first electrode coupled to produce an output voltage of the LDO regulator, a control electrode, and a second electrode coupled to receive an input voltage of the LDO regulator. An error amplifier has a first input coupled to a first reference voltage and an output coupled to the gate control electrode of the pass transistor. A first feedback circuit has an input coupled to the first electrode of the pass transistor and an output producing a first feedback voltage coupled to a second input of the error amplifier. The auxiliary amplifier has a first input coupled to a second reference voltage and an output coupled to the output of the error amplifier. A second feedback circuit has an input coupled to the output of the auxiliary amplifier and an output producing a second feedback voltage coupled to a second input of the auxiliary amplifier. The auxiliary feedback loop is used to take over control of the feedback in the LDO regulator at high frequencies.
